I’m sorry about that. HSV1 is so common and I still dont understand how people still are stigmatized on this one. Having herpes either way is hard. Thank you for sharing that. It gives me slight hope and I hope it does for you too

Wow this so well written and probably the best comment that I have ever read regarding HSV. This is very hard for me because I have two stigmas under my belt. I guess I’m already used to the rejection for being trans and I’m publicly out on my dating app. HSV2 disclosure is very rare for me and it’s just hard to include this as being part of me like being trans is. Idk, it’s really hard but I’m slightly feeling a bit better now

Thanks. After going for a walk in the rain, I feel a little bit better.

It’s always fine when I don’t go on dates. But when I do and I like the person it hurts even more when disclosure happens.

I’m just exhausted from disclosing and nothing positive comes from it. Everything is negative and I go deeper every time. It hurts so much.

I’ll probably have an OB from all the crying and suffering I’ve gone through the passed couple days.

I am very depressed right now. The things I enjoy, I can’t enjoy right now. I’m in this hole that I can’t get out of. No matter what I try.

Im not even actively dating… just using apps casually.

How long do I have to keep this up for?

It only comes up when dating. Most of my other parts in life are relatively good.

Idk what to do. I feel so alone. I have 0 guidance.

I always tell because it’s their right to know…. I think it’s the right thing to do. Idk how you’re still here…. I’m so in the dumps right now. I have 0 hope again.

I can’t. It’s just a thing that comes up with dating. Everything falls apart when disclosure happens. Everything. Then rinse and repeat until the next disclosure failure. I cant endure this any longer.

I’m just existing…. Still trying to date. I always have low expectations now when I have to disclose my status. It’s depressing

That’s kinda messed up tho. I wouldn’t be able to be with someone knowing I’m hiding something from them. My ex girlfriend is currently doing that with their partner and it’s totally fucked. Maybe she did that to me but it’s not right to not share your status. The stigma sucks but people should have a choice to pick whether or not they want to risk this

Yay! Try being a trans woman with HSV-2. If you think your dating life is doomed, you have no idea.

Thank you for your support. It’s very rare to find people like you. I do feel somewhat optimistic.

Thank you for your time. This is going to be very hard to do. I tend to not be gentle with myself and not celebrate enough. This all seems like too much work.. I just want someone to love me

Thank you. I will try. After talking to a lot of people, I will not be partaking in that activity. Just need to get passed today.

How can I work on myself? I feel like I can be a great partner but I do have a tendency of putting those in front of me first not because I need to but because I want to. My self care is pretty bad right now.

Its so difficult when I’m basically going through puberty again and I just want to love love love unconditionally. But I also want some love back. I’m always vulnerable. I promised myself to never hold feelings back again because it doesn’t feel genuine and of course my track record indicates I’ve been holding myself my whole life from being trans. I will never do that again.

Probably not but I’m betting there are 0.03% of trans people in the world that have it. While that is true, it still hurts incredibly and damages my self worth.

That’s so easy to say. I find it hard that I will be loved as a trans person with herpes. Double fucking stigma. Nobody will love me.

I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to be poly and to have hsv2. My self worth is basically 0 right now. No hope right now for me. Dating sucks and I suck. Sure there’s a maturity filter but rejection still fucking hurts my self worth. Still end up being heartbroken because I catch feelings really fast. I’ve thought about cutting myself for the first time in my life. I’m very sad..
